Description

A TV Public Service Announcement on polio which shows a polio afflicted mobilizer Amit Kishore telling his own story. Amit is from Patna, Bihar in India. He says, “As a child when I had cough or cold, my mother’s home remedies immediately helped …. When I got hurt, father would apply ointment on the wound… When I had fever, the doctor’s medicine would make me better…..but when I got afflicted by polio, my parents all attempts to treat me failed. I do not want this to happen to your child, so that’s why I am here today.” Amit is at a polio booth mobilizing parents to get their children two drops of the oral polio vaccine. He is greeted by Amitabh Bachchan, popular Bollywood actor who says, “Lets root out polio. Get your child two drops every time till the age of 5 years”.
